Crazy Days ttack The cafeteria tables were shoved aside to ac- comodate jitterbuggers practicing for the bash that night. Kicking their heels up high are Nancy McCloud, Cindy McCarthy, joan Beaudry, Cheryl Frick and Karla Merrells. Sue Hess checks out the winning numbers to see if any match a number on her array of rain- bow pins while Karen Quinn and Cindy Hib- bert verify her chances of winning a rainbow surprise. The cafeteria was decorated in a bright spectrum to chase away the Monday morning blues. Roll Your Tootsies was the theme of Student Council's second skating party. Tootsie rolls were sold during the day to stir up excitement for that night's skating pany. Crazy hats, rainbows, tootsie rolls, painted faces, saddle shoes and red lipstick. What on earth was this non- sense? Well . . . here's a plausible explanation. Although the students' age range was between 13 and 18, they needed an outlet to vent frustra- tions and anxieties brought about by school and adolescent pressure and the outlet usually emerged in a juvenile and silly mode. Executive Board plotted and plan- ned to devise a different Spirit Week. Flower day was thrown to the com- post pile and rainbow day emerged as a colorful replacement. On the second day of Spirit Week, there were many unrecognizable girls strolling the halls - it was Paint Your Face I N--.L ,L 1 Yu-..NL - I va. 1 1- ' rl' T .if 'Hu F.

Roller skaters had the chance to roll their tootsies on Wednesday. 1200 tootsie rolls were sold in a record 20 sweet minutes. Thursday, girls rummaged through attics to don absurd hats. Friday was the grand finale - Greaser Day! Except for a handful of girls who turned the day into a jeans day, most girls saddled up and greased up to rock into the '50s. The day culminated with the Greaser Dance. Disc jockies from WOHO spun the tunes of the 1950's and or- ganized a dance contest. Seniors Laura Landes and loanne Kuhn won the jitterbug contest and received two tickets to the 1. Geil's concert. The purpose of Spirit Week surely was successful. Each girl frolicked in the carefree, uninhibitive environ- ment created by the craziness of Spirit Week. At least for a week, smiles and laughter and silliness evoked a happy atmosphere in the freezes of February activities.

Seasons Spark Spirit Hansel and Cretel's gingerbread house comes to life in the form of Michelle Brandys' Geome- try project. Holidays put a new spark in the personalities of many McAuleyans. Halloween meant a costume day and a pumpkin carving contest sponsored by Student Council. Homeroom 207 won with their rendition of Dandy Lion . Many activities provided extra spirit during the Christmas season. Mission Post Office made the delivery of Christmas cards and gifts possible for senders and receivers. St. Nick's day rewarded all good girls with candy in their shoes. Various Christ- mas parties in different classes gave students a break from the monotony of a normal school day. On Valen- tine's day, Community Committee sponsored a heart cookie sale and post office with all proceeds going to the Heart Association. Maybe it was because they meant vacations, or maybe it was just the spirit of the occasion but when a holi- day came around, so did the life in many McAuleyans. Nancy McCloud is disguised in personality as well as attire in a pious Halloween pose. With the gingerbread gone, it becomes apparent that the house is little more than ticky-tacky with leftover crumbs. l ,,-..av 4?
